Mato Grosso do Sul Rain Timely For Late Safrinha Corn

Kansas City, May 24 (World Weather Inc.) – A beneficial rain event occurred overnight in an important Safrinha corn production region in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The rain came at just about the right time to support late-planted Safrinha corn as it was moving toward and into reproduction. Soil conditions had been drying down previously and this rain came at just the right time to support crops.

South Africa Dryness Great For Harvest; Wheat Needs Rain

Kansas City, May 23 (World Weather Inc.) – Harvest conditions in South Africa were generally favorable during the past week. The main production areas were dry and temperatures were warmer than normal. Dry or mostly dry weather will persist with temperatures again trending above normal for at least the next seven days. The environment will remain favorable for aggressive harvesting and fieldwork. Winter wheat planting will also advance swiftly due to the ongoing dryness. Irrigated crops will establish favorably, though the need for rain is increasing for the dryland crops in Free State, Western Cape, and Northern Cape.

Western Australia Faces Another Week Of Dryness

Kansas City, May 23 (World Weather Inc.) – Most of Australia’s winter crop areas experienced net drying conditions during the past week except Victoria and a few immediate neighboring areas. Western and South Australia are still the driest areas in the nation and autumn planting has not advanced very well for areas away from the coast. Another full week of drying is expected for much of the west and south-central parts of the nation, while some rain fells periodically in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.

Some World Weather Anomalies To Subside For A While

Kansas City, May 23 (World Weather Inc.) – Weather anomalies noted around the world in recent weeks have been quite persistent. The potential for many of these anomalies to breakdown or relax to more typical weather patterns for this time of year is steadily rising and notable changes will occur in the next two weeks. Many of the anomalies; including flooding in southern Brazil, dryness in the North China Plain, excessive rain in southern China, dryness in western Australia, and dryness in the southwestern U.S. Plains along abundant rain in the U.S. Midwest are largely associated with atmospheric confusion resulting from the demise of El Nino. Delayed seasonal rain in the subtropics will also ease in the next couple of weeks.

Central Europe Rain To Persist While The Far East Dries

Kansas City, May 22 (World Weather Inc.) – Many areas in France, Germany, northern Italy, and neighboring locations received significant rain during the past week that promoted saturated conditions. Localized flooding was possible and the wet conditions may have induced some grain and oilseed quality declines. Germany and neighboring locations will remain in a wet weather bias through the next ten days with more flooding possible. Additional damage or quality declines will be possible for the winter grains and oilseeds. Portions of France and the United Kingdom will also receive enough rain to possibly delay the start of harvesting. The environment will otherwise remain favorable for summer crops, though late season planting may advance slowly in the wettest fields. In the meantime, far eastern Europe is expected to continue drying out raising some concern for crop stress.

Weekly Citrus Weather For May 22, 2024

Kansas City, May 22 (World Weather Inc.) – Florida’s citrus areas received varying amounts of rain during the past week. The rain and irrigation continued to support a good environment for the citrus, though dryness is intensifying for several locations due to a lack of significant rain and warm weather. Drier and warmer weather is slated for much of crop country through the middle of next week. Irrigation will continue to be the primary source for moisture. Mexico’s citrus areas remain critically dry and in need of abundant rainfall. The main production areas will have a few opportunities for spotty rainfall during the coming week, but not enough to fix the dryness. Brazil’s citrus areas will see periods of erratic rain in the coming days that may briefly slow the harvest.
